Mauldin police said a man in the parking lot of the BI-LO store on West Butler Road was robbed Sunday afternoon by a man who held him at gunpoint and demanded his phone and wallet.

Before the robber fled the scene, he fired four shots, according to police. The robbery victim was not hit by the gunfire, police said.

Police said the robber lost control of his car and slammed into the Little Caesar’s near the store.

Investigators said the robbery suspect got out of the car and went into a CVS Pharmacy, but they're not sure where he went from there.

Police said an injured man matching the description of the robbery suspect was found in the area. The man was being questioned, but as of Sunday evening, he was being called “a person of interest.” But Mauldin police said they believe the robbery was an isolated incident and there is no further risk to the community.
